In our home, we have a motto: Everything is meaningful and nothing matters at all.

An ocean breeze. Salty air and the crash of waves. The way jasmine both gently and unapologetically occupies its air space. New pens and a fresh sketchbook. A cold glass of something fermented. When your kids tell you they love you with prompt. Sleeping in. Waking up before the sun. Laughing until your belly hurts. Crying until you can’t.

These are meaningful things. Things that hold weight, should we choose to hold them at all.

Most things don’t matter.

The number of likes on a photo. The number of 0’s in a bank account. The number on the scale. Most numbers, in general. What other people think of you. Dishes in the sink. Spilling coffee on a white T-shirt. Traffic. Wrinkles.

Most things are a scam: taxes, health insurance, dry cleaning—multitudes of distractions built to pull you away from that which is meaningful, that which is magical.

Everything is meaningful and nothing matters at all. Are you willing to accept this dichotomy? To navigate this with grace and purpose? I believe that if we can do this, we’ll live our best life, day after day until the end of our days.

Neghar Fonooni is an artist, writer, practicing witch, and creative entrepreneur from Los Angeles. When she's not drawing, writing, and reading tarot for clients, she's taking care of her 100+ house plants or doing Crossfit. The intention of her work is to help women identifying folks reclaim their worthiness, unleash their magic, and step fully into their power.

This is an intersection: A place for weirdos, witches, misfits, magic makers, and moon lovers. A place for those who seek to smash the patriarchy and vibrate at higher frequencies. Women identifying folks who are ready to take up space and speak their truth—this is a safe and nurturing place for you.

When you sign up for Musings for the Moon, you’ll receive weekly emails, timed with the phases of the moon, to help you reclaim your power and unleash your magic.
